I started using some of the old DK square cornered stems instead of Tuf Necks or Pro Necks as you can get them for less than half the price.

Same with DC1020'S and 890's instead of MX1000's and 900's.

even the 1020's and 890's are going up  ::)

have a DK round that is nos, but no ride to put it on ???

tyres are on the up for just cheapy's

DC cables are down - but that could also be due to the fakes out there

vintage stuff.....3-5 years ago few collected it, now getting stuff at a half decent price is really hard as a lot of people are getting into the vintage scene.  5 years ago I built  a 78 Goose complete with motomags for around  £400. Now you can kiss goodbye to over 1k easily for a mint one. And as for vintage se gear i'd say the prices have more than doubled in the last 2 years.

but it does seem the stuff we thought was hard to get hold of and worth the money, now seems in some case's it doesn't command good price's

i know outside people just see money and no love

is it just a case as they see a name and think every thing in the range has to be pricey ?

I buy what I want to put on my bike. I haven't got the time or inclination to buy and sell for a profit. I didn't buy a thing from Shiners this year, I only bought a pair of hubs last year and they are now on my CW 24".

There seems to be a misconception out there by those who are not deeply involved in this hobby that anything BMX is worth a lot of money. At the end of the day it's worth nothing if nobody wants to buy it. As a rule, the sales in this forum are 'reasonably' priced. Some on Flea Bay are so over inflated it makes me wince when I read them. Unfortunately it's not the seller that's in the wrong, as long as people are buying the parts the prices will remain astronomical!
